Linear Tape-Open is a tape drive specification backed by

IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Seagate.
Low Voltage Differential or LVD is the newest type of SCSI
LVD
cabling, and LVD SCSI specifications can reach distances up to 12
meters. LVD SCSI cabling requires "Twist and Flat" ribbon cable
and an LVD/SE terminator or a "Twist and Flat" ribbon cable with
built-in LVD termination. All IBM LTO tape drives are LVD
devices. Quantum DLT8000 and SDLT tape drives can be LVD or
HVD devices.
This term refers to the use of different tape drive
Mixed media
types within one tape library. ATL mixed media libraries may use
DLT and LTO tape drives simultaneously (LVD), as well as DLT
and SDLT tape drives HVD or LVD).
Mixed media gripper

Non-Volatile Random Access Memory is a type of
NVRAM
memory that retains its contents when power is turned off. One
type of NVRAM is SRAM that is made non-volatile by connecting
it to a constant power source such as a battery. Another type of
NVRAM uses EEPROM chips to save its contents when power is
turned off. In this case, NVRAM is composed of a combination of
SRAM and EEPROM chips.
